Oh man. I never thought I'd show up in a Matpat video of all things. Hello, I am Heidi Sprite. I did the voiceovers for Belinda, Kyle, Felicia, and Michelle for Home Safety Hotline. This was my first time providing my voice for a video game, and I am so incredibly honored that I got to watch you play it before you ride off into the sunset. I am always eager to put my voice out there, so if any project managers out there like what they heard from me, my DMs are always open. I grew up on Game Theory as a kid. I always knew I was in for a good time when a new theory was posted. I also remember being really excited when you first announced film theory. All the nerd kids I hung out with at school were ecstatic. It was all they talked about for weeks. I had a friend who would sit with us at lunch, and he'd always say something like "Guys, Matpat posted a theory about Spiderman!" and we'd all watch it on our lunch break. Matpat, you have truly left my inner child speechless and starstruck. Even if it was just for a moment, I will remember the joy I feel today for many years to come. Thank you for helping to create the many memories I love and treasure so much in my life. ❤
Why can I relate so much?Me and my friends love watching MatPat,and totally didn’t make a cult like club making theories off of MatPats videos.But now that he’s retiring,it seems like our friend group is slowly separating.
Congrats bro I also would be truly honoured for my childhood hero to recognize me and I'm happy for you (which rarely happens) and hope you live a good life and remember this moment In your dark days

@Forthakine lol yeah :D my brother went into programming as a legit career so his tech knowledge far exceeds mine now. I still do occasionally baffle him when I get "broken" tech to work despite all logic saying it shouldnt be.
So first of all, this is so jarring to me to see my name on the credits of a MatPat Video??? I’m Jackson, I played Hank, Howard, May, and a few other callers, and I’m so glad that you liked my huge piles of brown, big fellah!! 👏🏽😩 Second, thank you so much for playing Home Safety Hotline!!! This is my video game debut, and all of the love around the game and it’s voice acting has just warmed my heart 💕 If you ever need a voice actor to fill out a role in any future project, MY DMS ARE OPEN!!
This game seems like the epitome of an analog horror interactive experience, especially with the use of a familiar OS's style, overall giving a distorted sense of nostalgia for players. Would love to see more of your work!
Still absolutely reeling from seeing this! Hi, I'm Zandyr Maxwell! I play Mike, Harvey, Gary, and Larry in this game. As someone who's been following GT since literally the original Chrono Trigger video, thank you so much for checking this game out, it means the world to me and my wonderful fellow cast members.

1:07:40 I think Gary was given the right advice, but he decided to _ignore_ it because it didn't make sense to him. A bowl of cream is the proper gift for Common Hobbs (commonly found in common rooms like the Living Room), and failing to leave a hobb a routine gift causes them to metamorphose into a Boggart.

@@Ren-rh1zv carol is intentionally giving you wrong info though. Fae feast's entry literally tells you to eat the food, without asking, and thank for the meal. Those are 3 BIG fae no-nos on one entry. Thanking as an acknowledgement of debt (meaning the fae can call on you for any one thing), violating the rules of hospitality (eating without asking, and therefore giving that fae lifelong control of you), and eating fae food (famously so good that you will never again find joy in the human world)
@@GA5_MA5KHarvell-wp6yj he stuttered in saying 'they could' and 'I guess' There're lots of valid criticism that can be made against MatPat, I'm pretty sure saying the N word is not one. 😅
Listening to the anecdote at the start I’m beginning to form a theory that MatPat’s parents were spies and that phone was the direct line to their handler…
Right? Like he just casually dropped "room no one was allowed to go in or sleep in with a phone no one was allowed to use", as if that's just a normal thing everyone had? Like.. hello??
Odds are they had a guest room with a guest phone with it's sole purpose being emergency situations, someone is in the kitchen (where the main phone is). I know guest rooms and having a rooms just for decoration is a GONE concept now. A parent who doesn't want to clean it all the time it is easier to tell the kid not to play in it and dust as needed. The real story is the phone, odds are it was his dad's and his mom wouldn't let them use at is the main phone. 😂
1:12:16 This whole segment makes so much more sense upon loosing the game. Upon loosing the game, the player is turned into a mouse. A mouse that is still conscious and aware of what’s going on around them, and who they once were. The smart mouse are *ex-emplyees of the home safety hotline, that have been turned into mice. And they have become to high in numbers, they have been classed as a subspecies of mice.* It also explains the weird emails we get, and why they say to ‘come hide wiht me in this hole.’ They were fired, and now they just love their days as a mouse.
It's funny how our minds just create things that aren't there via associations. Matt hears "peeling" and automatically starts calling it "paint peeling". Even though the caller never actually said the word "paint", and in fact only assumed that maybe it was peeling.
I think anything involving having to get through something quickly. If he has time he dives deep, but if he feels a time crunch he tries to make a decision based on how quickly he feels he can deduce something. Like he’s that kid that if he had a project due it would be the best project ever if he had like a week. If he had to throw it together the night before hes the kid that reads like half of an article in the first link of the google search because he can probably assume how the rest of it goes… right? Lolol
Can you imagine this game, but despite your database getting more and more wild you're still only confronted to mundane issues? Oh, the anxiety and anticipation of something supernaturally terrible happening to a caller.
something I'd like to point out - you don't have a time limit for each caller. You can spend your time with each caller reviewing the available information for all your entries.
12:06 I actually appreciate the trypo one cus once it gets triggered I need to take more than one shower to feel better and keep the itch away is a really horrible feeling and I know it has to be with survival instincts.
@@DoPiMotion123i don't have trypophobia but i do have emetophobia and it's kinda funny that when i tell most people that they show me disgusting stuff to try to get me to throw up lol
@@DoPiMotion123I have trypophobia, and interestingly I did not notice where it was relevant in this game. The grotto or bee stuff maybe..? I was worried when I saw the trigger warning but imo there wasn't any, which was a relief. Actually what I find is interesting is that 1. Trypo is one of the phobias that it's better not to admit to bc yes all over the internet people will 100% spam your DMs as soon as they find out BUT 2. trypophobia is extremely contagious. It's like a cognitohazard. The more people flat out don't know it exists the better, and that's wild to me.
@@baydiac yeah I didn't see anything but I think the description of the bed teeth? Is the one that would make me uncomfortable imagining. Yeah people are like that that's why I never mention it 😭. It has to be with infections, anything contagious or something like that. Brain be like please don't give me your infection 😂😂
the logo for the HSH is a celtic knot, it is also seen in the design of the H. Hobb, as far as i can tell is a hobgoblin, the fae in the british isles are often appeased by a bowl of cream :).
its almost a shame he's doing so good at this game lol. a ton of the really great voicing acting in this game happens when people call back upset/terrified. i think most of it comes in the later days though so we'll see :)
Mandela catalogue video dropped while I was watching this disguised as a vine compilation. It was very funny😭. Anyways I’m obsessed with this game so a couple tips for playing in the future: 1. Read ALL new prompts before you answer any calls. Once you put someone on hold, you don’t have a time limit to answer, so take time to read all the info. 2. Take notes of key details for certain hints, those internet outages are no joke. You have no way of looking up the info when it’s out like that 3. Always look at tiny details in the callers’ messages and the information pages. The little details and discrepancies in both caller messages and the database information can make a big difference 4. That missing persons notice from the video clip is important for a later call. It literally describes a false rose bush. I’m not actually 100% sure that’s the correct answer; i think it’s intentional to throw you off but either way it is important 5. Just because the new information is mostly weird creepy stuff, that doesn’t mean it’s always the answer. Sometimes it is as simple as a frosted pipe or carpenter ants Lastly, these aren’t tips but I think that prank caller is some kind of cryptid. I’m not 100% sure and idk what exactly he could be but I think he is. Either that or he’s connected to the weird emails from the ex employee. And, idk how long you plan to play this for, but I know what happens when you get most/all of the answers right (it’s weird asf) but idk what happens when you get everything mostly wrong. I wonder if there’s consequences or a different ending. I just think this game generally has a lot of secrets to unlock, maybe even the employee coupon code’s do something somewhere? (And why does the database info for mice call them worthless??😭 I wonder what the HSH has against mice and what it may have to do with the science video about mouse intelligence). Maybe not and maybe it’s just play the game but something tells me there could be more to it EDIT: WANDA’S CAT WHISKERS BECAME THE HOME SAFETY HOTLINE OFFICE PET. I am CALLING it now, I agree with Ash. Idk how the HSH got him and what the significance of that is, but it’s him I know it.
@@joabitiscooltaylor2020 They are talking about the kid in the house auction video, where it states that a kid was kidnapped by somebody wearing a rose bush which lines up with the false rose bush’s description
Watching Mat struggle with Michelle's call has me cackling omg. he reads what a mouse does like 3 different times and was still unsure if it was a mouse or not lol. He's the smartest guy I watch, but sometimes it's the simpelist things that get him. And I really wish I had a common hob in my house lol
1:11:20 Yooooo is Whiskers THAT CALLERS CAT? It cant be a coincidence they get a caller with the same cat NAME and bam immediately HEY WE GOT THIS CAT! Nahhhhhhh that lady dead 💜
30:50 I would totally be fine with a common hobb. They clean my house for me as long as I leave them a bowl of cream every day? That’s an amazing deal!!
the gtlive was so fun yesterday! i loved all the reactions from different people on the couch. i had to rewind it a couple times to watch different people's reaction at different times
In regards to the arachnophobia: "I'm going to put myself through it for you guys" Me, who absolutely does have arachnophobia: "Naaaahh, that's okay. You *_really_* don't have to, honestly." I do admire his willingness to persevere through his own fears, though.
The game developers acknowledging Nyctophobia on their phobia list makes me feel so seen. Most people tend to ignore that one…. I’m lucky mine only applies to real life darkness, and I’m usually ok when it’s on a screen. Also this game is awesome! I hope they play the whole thing!
Mat and Ashley should try getting a whole of answers wrong to get this game over screen. I have a theory about this indie game I think the home security hotline is turning their employees into something.
Ok the world of this game is just terrifying. Of all the things they've played on this channel, this is one of the ones that's gotten to me the most. I wanna shudder at EVERYTHING being reported. So disturbing.
37:21 i love how you can hear ashley lightly chuckle after matpat says "what could be biting her bed... mold?" lol and that chuckle is like "yes biting on the bed, of course it must be mold lol" ^_^
Honestly, I am highly reactive to images of clusters of holes (I have trypophobia) and my whole body starts to itch and shiver for the next 1 hour - 3 days, I think *EVERY* game should add a phobia toggle to disable everything that triggers certain phobias as seen in 12:00
as someone with cynophobia, i massively appreciate the fact that it’s acknowledged and something that can be toggled since most people don’t know it’s an actual phobia
I personally think it sets a dangerous president for horror as it basically says "I wanna be spooked by x and not y." Art has always been about pushing boundaries and it's personally kind of disappointing to see games starting to cave and possibly give up good scares in the effort to appeal to as wide an audience as possible.
@@Leon14000the settings don't affect you tho, and it helps others be able to play games that they couldn't before, for maybe the smallest thing in the game. Games shouldn't be exclusive to people who don't have fears, they should be more inclusive to everyone
@@dreagon185 I suppose I can get behind that. The way that I'm looking at it is sorta from the whole Sekiro "should ez mode be added to every game?" argument where, if developers feel as though they need to add these filters or that option to turn off specific content, people won't feel the need to continue to push boundaries. Hopefully that makes sense, lol.
@@Leon14000I can understand that too, but from my own experience I think that of people want to push a games boundaries, it's gonna happen. Just look speed runners. And there are also games that are unaccessible when it comes to difficulty levels. For example I've wanted to play games like elden ring and dark souls for years now, but because they are challenging games made for gamers, I and many other more casual gamers can't enjoy them. I get those games are meant to be hard, but I know I would never get through those games no matter how hard I tried
@Leon14000 Games don't need to traumatize people to scare them. It gives people the option to toggle off certain common phobias. There's plenty of spooky things in the game that are outside those parameters. If you don't want/need to toggle those, don't. But it's an accessibility setting. Having something like that is really cool.
Moles should not be killed because moles are blind they leave pheromones in their places. The pheromones on a dead mole can attract a violent mole. Moles become violent, their claws are razor sharp and can break rocks and roots , they are also known to carry rabies without having symptoms, they are a carrier but not a symptom shower. Moles are also known to cause house structure damage since they burrow
29:51 I love how this exact stock photo was used by a different desktop analog horror game too bc of its uncanniness (I forgot the name of it tho but jacksepticeye played it)
For some reason NO ONE continues the game, if you search the game up there’s tons of people playing it but it’s rare you find someone coming back to it.
Genuinely so excited for the new chapter for Team Theorists! Loved the podcast with Colin and Samir too and I wish the new hosts best of luck! We’ll always be here to support, no matter who and no matter what 🫶🏽
1 YAY THEY FINALLY GOT CHERRY COLA IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU MATT. 2 guys they cant do the same thing too many times in a row or else the algorithm thinks that its all they do, so they have to switch it up. Yall are a bunch of sillies 😂❤❤
19:08 So much *rap in that guy's life 💩 45:58 Bob the (desk) Hobb (that could be a whole kids show) 🖥 1:01:32 Goober (Southern US, euphemistic) = *enis. This gives "goofy goober" a new meaning 🤔
What I wanted to know, after watching another youtuber play this game, is 'is the prank caller a boggart?' It could explain the network errors that eventually occured.
Y'know, those coupons giving you things like Horseshoes and Silver Medallions with specifically Iron chains really bugs me. I already know what the game is going for; typically it's cold iron for these situations. It's a funky little trade off there. I wouldn't trust Carol either.
i think another person got the type of hobb wrong? it’s interesting! maybe the last call or something will have something to do with the missing boy? (also a couple of those house?? jeez! imagine being able to afford a house!)
I love that game! Unfortunately next time gtlive uploads it will probably be poppy playtime chapter 3 that's sad but I don't mind poppy playtime chapter 3 I would just rather have him play the unfinished swan
You'll be gone before ya know it matt it made me really sad when u announced that u were retireing but I understand why ur my childhood and I hope u pop in once in a while we'll miss u😢❤💔😮💨😔😞
That is hilarious, I did the exact same thing matpat. My parents were at a job thingy, I thought the landline they had on the wall didn't work and I immediately called random numbers. A cop did come though. I was scared immediately and hid under a desk lol.
lol matpat puts very first caller at the start on hold to look up their problem. at the exact same time it goes to commercial and a guy busts through a wall. almost jump scared me also i've watched 2 people play this game now, both picked black mold for that first person and both were wrong. i guess cockroach knowledge isn't that well known the video with the smart mouse. forgot about that part from the first time i watched a playthrough of this game. this time, and maybe then too, i don't remember. i was thinking, where's kronk with his "squeak skueakity squeak squeaken"
From what I understand, MatPat will be there at GTLive until at least halfway through the year. There hasn't been any official announcements yet, but Ash could be a candidate. Not too sure tho. It's just a theory
@@getreckedlol05 - Was this clearly stated? Or is it a guess? I love Ash, so I’d be happy if they did get to play. However, there’s always someone playing and someone being the bts person. And Ash has always been the bts. But I also didn’t watch the live yesterday, so idk if they said it there.

Can you imagine this game, but despite your database getting more and more wild you're still only confronted to mundane issues? Oh, the anxiety and anticipation of something supernaturally terrible happening to a caller.
i love this game for the traditional folklore weaved into the story
Heck yeah, I was really excited by all the Hobs and Sprites and the background LORE that suggests! Here's hoping for a Theory about it one day.
something I'd like to point out - you don't have a time limit for each caller. You can spend your time with each caller reviewing the available information for all your entries.
12:06 I actually appreciate the trypo one cus once it gets triggered I need to take more than one shower to feel better and keep the itch away is a really horrible feeling and I know it has to be with survival instincts.
SAME, is it just me or whenever anybody finds out that you have trypophobia they try and trigger it? 😅
@@DoPiMotion123I don't tell ppl lol but me and my sister trigger each other to not feel horrible alone lol 😂
@@DoPiMotion123i don't have trypophobia but i do have emetophobia and it's kinda funny that when i tell most people that they show me disgusting stuff to try to get me to throw up lol
@@DoPiMotion123I have trypophobia, and interestingly I did not notice where it was relevant in this game. The grotto or bee stuff maybe..? I was worried when I saw the trigger warning but imo there wasn't any, which was a relief.
Actually what I find is interesting is that 1. Trypo is one of the phobias that it's better not to admit to bc yes all over the internet people will 100% spam your DMs as soon as they find out BUT 2. trypophobia is extremely contagious. It's like a cognitohazard. The more people flat out don't know it exists the better, and that's wild to me.
@@baydiac yeah I didn't see anything but I think the description of the bed teeth? Is the one that would make me uncomfortable imagining. Yeah people are like that that's why I never mention it 😭. It has to be with infections, anything contagious or something like that. Brain be like please don't give me your infection 😂😂
the premise of this game is similar to Killer frequency!! (cough cough please continue playing it)
i was looking for this comment, please part 3
Yesss, glad someone said it!!
I second this !!! I need more playthroughs of that game !!!
the logo for the HSH is a celtic knot, it is also seen in the design of the H. Hobb, as far as i can tell is a hobgoblin, the fae in the british isles are often appeased by a bowl of cream :).
horseshoes are lucky in ireland 47:50
sprites, UNICORN fungi, nd boggart 52:36 come on guys
whisp 53:24
i believe wanda is a witch "wand"a and her cat is her familiar. on amother note, iron 1:12:03 is said to be toxic to the fae :)
its almost a shame he's doing so good at this game lol. a ton of the really great voicing acting in this game happens when people call back upset/terrified. i think most of it comes in the later days though so we'll see :)
Lot of people in the comments making it out like he got every single one wrong though, lol.
Yeahhh
It's unfortunate that my favourite missed calls come from the most obvious calls
Mandela catalogue video dropped while I was watching this disguised as a vine compilation. It was very funny😭. Anyways I’m obsessed with this game so a couple tips for playing in the future:
1. Read ALL new prompts before you answer any calls. Once you put someone on hold, you don’t have a time limit to answer, so take time to read all the info.
2. Take notes of key details for certain hints, those internet outages are no joke. You have no way of looking up the info when it’s out like that
3. Always look at tiny details in the callers’ messages and the information pages. The little details and discrepancies in both caller messages and the database information can make a big difference
4. That missing persons notice from the video clip is important for a later call. It literally describes a false rose bush. I’m not actually 100% sure that’s the correct answer; i think it’s intentional to throw you off but either way it is important
5. Just because the new information is mostly weird creepy stuff, that doesn’t mean it’s always the answer. Sometimes it is as simple as a frosted pipe or carpenter ants
Lastly, these aren’t tips but I think that prank caller is some kind of cryptid. I’m not 100% sure and idk what exactly he could be but I think he is. Either that or he’s connected to the weird emails from the ex employee. And, idk how long you plan to play this for, but I know what happens when you get most/all of the answers right (it’s weird asf) but idk what happens when you get everything mostly wrong. I wonder if there’s consequences or a different ending. I just think this game generally has a lot of secrets to unlock, maybe even the employee coupon code’s do something somewhere? (And why does the database info for mice call them worthless??😭 I wonder what the HSH has against mice and what it may have to do with the science video about mouse intelligence). Maybe not and maybe it’s just play the game but something tells me there could be more to it
EDIT: WANDA’S CAT WHISKERS BECAME THE HOME SAFETY HOTLINE OFFICE PET. I am CALLING it now, I agree with Ash. Idk how the HSH got him and what the significance of that is, but it’s him I know it.
prank caller is just a prank caller, gets turned into a mouse later on.
That missing kid definitely got eaten by a false rose bush, Rip to him
Actually he didn't he was eaten by the false artifact.
@@joabitiscooltaylor2020wrong kid
No. I did.
Also that cheap house covered in vines was possibly touched by a Spriggan
@@joabitiscooltaylor2020 They are talking about the kid in the house auction video, where it states that a kid was kidnapped by somebody wearing a rose bush which lines up with the false rose bush’s description
I love how ash says “um, that’s concerning” I laughed a little too hard at that
Watching Mat struggle with Michelle's call has me cackling omg. he reads what a mouse does like 3 different times and was still unsure if it was a mouse or not lol. He's the smartest guy I watch, but sometimes it's the simpelist things that get him. And I really wish I had a common hob in my house lol
1:11:20 Yooooo is Whiskers THAT CALLERS CAT? It cant be a coincidence they get a caller with the same cat NAME and bam immediately HEY WE GOT THIS CAT! Nahhhhhhh that lady dead 💜
Me and ASH on the SAME PAGE MANNNNNN 💜
30:50 I would totally be fine with a common hobb. They clean my house for me as long as I leave them a bowl of cream every day? That’s an amazing deal!!
Boggart: BONJOUR
Loved the live yesterday!!

the gtlive was so fun yesterday! i loved all the reactions from different people on the couch. i had to rewind it a couple times to watch different people's reaction at different times
@UTTPLapsos these are getting out of hand...
I lost count how much bots I was reporting
@@Jamesthepianoguy9455for real, why is TH-cam still not shutting down these accounts?
@@Jamesthepianoguy9455literally. It’s getting crazy
TH-cam, FIX THE PROBLEM. DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN CALLED OUT ABOUT THE BOTS ENOUGH, OR SOMETHING!?
In regards to the arachnophobia: "I'm going to put myself through it for you guys"
Me, who absolutely does have arachnophobia: "Naaaahh, that's okay. You *_really_* don't have to, honestly."
I do admire his willingness to persevere through his own fears, though.
I love how MatPt didn't care about the missing kid and was browsing houses to buy on Berry Lane. 49:29
Those prices though, I could actually afford one of those if the market looked like that today.
The game developers acknowledging Nyctophobia on their phobia list makes me feel so seen. Most people tend to ignore that one…. I’m lucky mine only applies to real life darkness, and I’m usually ok when it’s on a screen. Also this game is awesome! I hope they play the whole thing!
I agree, for me it applies to shadows(so full dark is less scary) but most games don’t utilize or even acknowledge that it’s a common enough fear.
Did we finish killer frequency? Maybe I just don’t remember but I’ve been desperately waiting for the ending😂😭
Nope, they have yet to finish it.
@@commandercorl1544 My days of waiting shall continue 🤝
BABE WAKE UP, NEW MATPAT CONTENT JUST DROPPED
Plot twist: their content is not better
I can confirm, Lapsos's content is not better than GTLIVE
Jesus. Sorry you're getting harassed by bots.
I need to see Matt to a Sam Reigal-inspired ad read with air up one day. Just the most insane sponsor read, with high production value and everything
Wish they come out with a second part of this soon 😢
Please Matt, make another video of this. I'm so invested and keep hoping whenever you post a video its part 2 of this.
Mat and Ashley should try getting a whole of answers wrong to get this game over screen. I have a theory about this indie game I think the home security hotline is turning their employees into something.
Ok the world of this game is just terrifying. Of all the things they've played on this channel, this is one of the ones that's gotten to me the most. I wanna shudder at EVERYTHING being reported. So disturbing.
Frozen pipes are so. Scary. Glad they aren’t real 😊
So many deadly thibgs
Matt jokingly: being dehydrated
Me who passed out out of nowhere because I was dehydrated: iv been seen
37:21
i love how you can hear ashley lightly chuckle after matpat says "what could be biting her bed... mold?" lol and that chuckle is like "yes biting on the bed, of course it must be mold lol"
^_^
just an fyi i think they prefer ash! correct me if im wrong though :)
Please keep playing killer frequency 😭🙏🙏🙏
real
Seriously. I need an excuse to go through it again.
yes please !! ive been waiting for another episode
Honestly, I am highly reactive to images of clusters of holes (I have trypophobia) and my whole body starts to itch and shiver for the next 1 hour - 3 days, I think *EVERY* game should add a phobia toggle to disable everything that triggers certain phobias as seen in 12:00
I think the weird emails are from a sentient mice, from the video about mice. This explains the broken English and it living in a hole in the wall.
AHHH I'M SO STOKED Y'ALL ARE PLAYING THIS
as someone with cynophobia, i massively appreciate the fact that it’s acknowledged and something that can be toggled since most people don’t know it’s an actual phobia
I personally think it sets a dangerous president for horror as it basically says "I wanna be spooked by x and not y."
Art has always been about pushing boundaries and it's personally kind of disappointing to see games starting to cave and possibly give up good scares in the effort to appeal to as wide an audience as possible.
@@Leon14000the settings don't affect you tho, and it helps others be able to play games that they couldn't before, for maybe the smallest thing in the game. Games shouldn't be exclusive to people who don't have fears, they should be more inclusive to everyone
@@dreagon185 I suppose I can get behind that. The way that I'm looking at it is sorta from the whole Sekiro "should ez mode be added to every game?" argument where, if developers feel as though they need to add these filters or that option to turn off specific content, people won't feel the need to continue to push boundaries. Hopefully that makes sense, lol.
@@Leon14000I can understand that too, but from my own experience I think that of people want to push a games boundaries, it's gonna happen. Just look speed runners. And there are also games that are unaccessible when it comes to difficulty levels. For example I've wanted to play games like elden ring and dark souls for years now, but because they are challenging games made for gamers, I and many other more casual gamers can't enjoy them. I get those games are meant to be hard, but I know I would never get through those games no matter how hard I tried
@Leon14000 Games don't need to traumatize people to scare them. It gives people the option to toggle off certain common phobias. There's plenty of spooky things in the game that are outside those parameters. If you don't want/need to toggle those, don't. But it's an accessibility setting. Having something like that is really cool.
I love how every Hobb has their favourite food.
Are we done with Shipwrecked 64? I really hope not. It looks so interesting!
I hope not too, I've rewatched it so much
I cant wait to see more of this game, it’s so fleshed out
Moles should not be killed because moles are blind they leave pheromones in their places. The pheromones on a dead mole can attract a violent mole. Moles become violent, their claws are razor sharp and can break rocks and roots , they are also known to carry rabies without having symptoms, they are a carrier but not a symptom shower. Moles are also known to cause house structure damage since they burrow
29:51 I love how this exact stock photo was used by a different desktop analog horror game too bc of its uncanniness (I forgot the name of it tho but jacksepticeye played it)
98xx?
Yeah it would be a great analog/found footage horror about the room that people keep very lovely in part of the house
19:21 gives the same vibes as “it’s a cow farm.. YER GONNA FIND COWS OUTSIDE”
50:20
I HEARD THE WORD KERNING
As a Visual Communications student my neurons have been activated!
*insert burning Elmo image here*
56:55 ash: "i was just looking at the description..." mat: completely brushes over this😭
Glad we still get the lives, I love the witty banter. I'm excited for the new hosts though!
Matt should play KinitoPet next. Such an amazing and underrated indie horror game.
He already has
Did matt never continue the game? If not that would be kinda disappointing 😢
For some reason NO ONE continues the game, if you search the game up there’s tons of people playing it but it’s rare you find someone coming back to it.
Genuinely so excited for the new chapter for Team Theorists! Loved the podcast with Colin and Samir too and I wish the new hosts best of luck! We’ll always be here to support, no matter who and no matter what 🫶🏽
yesterdays gtlive episode made me decide i want to see all the cds and matpat play a dnd campaign
Lol So funny how long he took for the Termites xD
The moment I heard that one, I was like - "Ah! Termites..." XD
I felt the same about the ticks
Please play: "kinoko pet", and "98xx" they would be so fun to see ur reactions. And maybe a game theory for Tom too. There is a lot of lore in them.
Boosting this
..a fellow Thaf viewer?
he played those recently, and yeah they would definitely be fun to see Mat play.
Still begging for part 2
I know what kinds of horrors are in the homes, they are Matpat theorizing how fnaf is gonna end.
Hey there, Matpat and Ash! Good day
Just wanted to say that you guys are killing it with your live recently, even from yesterday was such a fun AMA!
@UTTP_Destroy_All_Fandoms I hope you never spam hateful comments ever again!
1 YAY THEY FINALLY GOT CHERRY COLA IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU MATT. 2 guys they cant do the same thing too many times in a row or else the algorithm thinks that its all they do, so they have to switch it up. Yall are a bunch of sillies 😂❤❤
Herbal tea is also fantastic for hydration! Hibiscus tea made iced with no added sugar, SO good!
19:08 So much *rap in that guy's life 💩
45:58 Bob the (desk) Hobb (that could be a whole kids show) 🖥
1:01:32 Goober (Southern US, euphemistic) = *enis. This gives "goofy goober" a new meaning 🤔
Ash saying "lets shall" is amazing. I though I was the only one who said that! I learned it from an inner tube
I want a part 2 to this but I know it's not gonna happen at this point :(
What I wanted to know, after watching another youtuber play this game, is 'is the prank caller a boggart?' It could explain the network errors that eventually occured.
Y'know, those coupons giving you things like Horseshoes and Silver Medallions with specifically Iron chains really bugs me. I already know what the game is going for; typically it's cold iron for these situations. It's a funky little trade off there.
I wouldn't trust Carol either.
i think another person got the type of hobb wrong?
it’s interesting! maybe the last call or something will have something to do with the missing boy? (also a couple of those house?? jeez! imagine being able to afford a house!)
Video 64 of asking Mat to play “The Unfinished Swan”. It gives more story to one of the characters in “What Remains of Edith Finch”.
@@UTTP...LAPSOSyour channel sucks
bunch of nobodys in this reply section
THE BOTS ARE TAKING OVERRR
I love that game! Unfortunately next time gtlive uploads it will probably be poppy playtime chapter 3 that's sad but I don't mind poppy playtime chapter 3 I would just rather have him play the unfinished swan
I KNOW RIGHT THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. i reported 3 of them @@Weird_Axolotl
1:11:15 i love how matpat is like "aww" and ash is like "THATS CONCERNING"
Ahhh i cant watch it right now but im so excited to and so glad you guys covered it!!!! Eager to see what you all think about it
Please make a part 2 to this
Oh my gosh I was hoping you guys would play this game!❤ I watched Gab play this and hoped you guys would too. I really like this game.
the air up part got me it was so scripted ash definetly held at gunpiont behind cams :0
You'll be gone before ya know it matt it made me really sad when u announced that u were retireing but I understand why ur my childhood and I hope u pop in once in a while we'll miss u😢❤💔😮💨😔😞
That is hilarious, I did the exact same thing matpat. My parents were at a job thingy, I thought the landline they had on the wall didn't work and I immediately called random numbers. A cop did come though. I was scared immediately and hid under a desk lol.
Imma need a second part please 😔
Omg that teal jacket mat is wearing is awesome, like, gotta love the classic red, but that teal is soooo PRETTY
Hey Matt. Any intentions on finishing the game?
Can’t wait to see more live content- the previous one was amazing. Such a Good Intro into the new Hosts for me ❤🎉
13:34 We gonna talk about how 555 Home-Safety has three too many didgets to be a phone number
It's run by the fae, I assume it's just an easy way to invite and summon a representative
Scott: five nights at freddies
Matpat: five nights at home safety hotline
Me: five nights at federal prison
If you didnt notice btw the missing kid report was a false rose bush taking the child.
Im happy Mat is gonna be on gtlive for a while. Really loved the live yesterday!
yay i was hoping you were going to play this, really hope u play the full game
that missing kid was probably taken by a boggart, it matches the description of the kidnapper
lol matpat puts very first caller at the start on hold to look up their problem. at the exact same time it goes to commercial and a guy busts through a wall. almost jump scared me
also i've watched 2 people play this game now, both picked black mold for that first person and both were wrong. i guess cockroach knowledge isn't that well known
the video with the smart mouse. forgot about that part from the first time i watched a playthrough of this game. this time, and maybe then too, i don't remember. i was thinking, where's kronk with his "squeak skueakity squeak squeaken"
Please keep playing The Room. I was so excited to you start that game cause ive been hoping for a game theory on it for YEARS.
I have a question, who will take over GTLive when Matpat is gone?
Ash!!
From what I understand, MatPat will be there at GTLive until at least halfway through the year. There hasn't been any official announcements yet, but Ash could be a candidate. Not too sure tho. It's just a theory
i think he said a mix of the hosts & ash, aswell as him on occassions
@@getreckedlol05 - Was this clearly stated? Or is it a guess?
I love Ash, so I’d be happy if they did get to play. However, there’s always someone playing and someone being the bts person. And Ash has always been the bts.
But I also didn’t watch the live yesterday, so idk if they said it there.
Ash has always been the main character friend
Please I need more parts of this
